The book explores the contrasting lifestyles of the wealthy and the working class, focusing on the struggles and moral dilemmas faced by its characters. Central to the narrative is Jean Wouters, a humble carpenter, and his family, who navigate life's challenges amid the backdrop of societal changes and financial hardships. The opening portion introduces the setting, which is a small village south of Brussels in 1865, where Jean Wouters and his family live. The narrative paints a vivid picture of their modest home and daily life, highlighting their hard work and the mother's illness that adds to their burdens. We meet their daughter, Lina, who is determined and resourceful, taking on chores to support her family while expressing concern over her grandfather's frugality. A significant turning point occurs when a drunken young man, later revealed to be Herman Steenvliet, is discovered at their doorstep, setting the stage for an intertwining of their fates as themes of wealth, responsibility, and redemption begin to unfold.
